Puccini: Madama Butterfly [Hybrid SACD]

I had the same problem as above. Both disk are disk one even though they are marked differetly....very disappointed in Amazon, especially since it appears they have had this problem before!

Yes, I have the Karajan, the far better Barbirolli, and others, but this Butterfly is so involving with SACD sound and supurb performances! Don't hesitate! Get it and love it!

I had hoped the issue stated by the other reviewers had been corrected but that is not the case. CD TWO IS A DUPLICATE OF CD ONE. You may read reviews, but clearly AMAZON does not read them. Amazon makes no attempt at offering customer service, just point & click returns, so I could keep returning & returning this CD and never rectify the problem. If I could get a correct copy I would be very happy as CD one is beautiful music.

I would have given this CD remastered a 6 out of 5 stars, if my CD 2 wasn't a duplicate of CD 1! I didn't bother to read all of the reviews before I purchased this set. I am such a fan of Leontyne Price and RCA Living stereo recordings that when I saw that a remastered Super Audio version was available...well, lets just say that I leaped before I looked. There is a previous review of this set that I did not read, in which the reviewer stated that his CD 2 was exactly like his CD 1. When he got his replacement, the same thing occurred. Well, it has now happened to me and I have no idea where to turn to get the real CD 2.

The real shame is that the sound is heavenly. The CDs will not play in a regular CD player. If you have a DVD player that is connected to your stereo system via fiber optic, or digital audio, you are in luck. It doesn't get any better. Well, it does if you have the real CD 2.

Ok, I got this a while back. I loved it. the sound is incredible and the music, of course as well. Heres the problem. This is a two disc set. Disc one is labeled Act 1 and 2. Disc two is labeled continuation of act 2 and act 3. Disc one is supposed to be 60min and 45 sec. disc 2 is supposed to be 68 min and 44 sec. BOTH DISC ARE THE SAME!!! BOTH READ 60 MIN AND 45 SEC. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE LABELED ONE AND TWO. THEY ARE THE SAME. I discovered this and sent it back and Amazon was great about replacing the disc. I just received the replacement and it's the same deal! Obviously, the problem goes back to the manufacture, so who do I call now? Beware if you get this and check it out when you receive it.
